Senior US military leaders reportedly kept Donald Trump at arm's length during a critical Iran rescue mission briefing in Washington earlier this month, with one Democratic lawmaker now arguing the president is 'not well' and should be removed from office under the 25th Amendment.
According to the Irish Star, the claims stem from an incident after a US fighter jet was shot down by Iranian forces, triggering a high risk operation to rescue a downed airman inside Iran. The paper, citing a report first detailed by The Wall Street Journal, says Trump was not given a full command briefing on the mission and instead received only limited updates because senior officials feared his behaviour could jeopardise the operation. Neither the Pentagon nor the White House has publicly confirmed that account.
